Stictocephala bisonia - a good taxon?

As the taxon has already been flagged, but so far went unnoticed or un-commented, I wanted to raise attention to the question wether that taxon should be merged with S. alta. I think they are used synonymously, and both have observations on iNat. Maybe a cicada-expert will see this post.
Cheers!

According to this short paper from 2008 “the synonymy of C. alta with S. bisonia stays unsolved”:

So, I’d rather merge those together, will wait for a day or two to do so.

Closing to focus discussion about specific iNat taxa on the flags, not the forum.
